AP Computer Science A: With 6 Practice Tests (Barron's Test Prep)

This is a review of your knowledge of JAVA programming, not computer science. No, it doesn't cover CS concepts thru the language - it's just about the language. Nor is it a good way to learn JAVA, as most of the book consists of test questions. One last complaint: it's all OOP, no procedural programming. All in all of very limited use.

If you follow the link in the email you receive, you may not wind up where you need to be to register your book.In my case, I was taken to a similar sounding book title, but the question asked was something like "what is the heading on page 233?".There is no "heading" at the top of page 233, just a code sample, so, when I typed in the first line on page 233 of the ***NINTH EDITION***, the web site refused to register my book.Eventually, a day later, I tried again. This time, I noticed the link had taken me to the wrong Barron's book registration location. Fortunately, there is a search feature which allowed me to find the correct book. Once I found the correct book to register, I found a question that made more sense and was able to complete the registration process.I am open to revising my review if and when Barrons/Kaplan straightens out their messed up book registration process.

Some answers to the practice questions in the book are wrong.

This is perfect for any A.P. student or teacher hoping to prepare for the A.P. Computer Science A exam this year! Thank you!

My son loved it and felt much more confident with his AP exam!

An excellent book having a lot of exams and a lot of marking schemes. My son loves it as it is preparing him for the SAT exam.

I have been using this book for many years. I appreciate the updates and the new materials. My students have told me that it was the best way to review for the exam. I recommend this as a primary textbook or review.

Book content is great....but to get online access is a big failure...As part of registration of this book, the commands they gave are a failure. I couldn't register my book to access online exams

It's a book my kid looking for. The practice tests are really helping to reinforce the concepts, skills and time management
